Singapore: Singapore has ordered an opposition party to correct online posts under a controversial law against misinformation, the first time the legislation has been used against a rival party, ahead of elections expected within months.
The Singapore Democratic Party , one of a host of small opposition parties, was ordered to correct two Facebook posts and an article on its website related to employment issues, authorities said in a press release on Saturday.
“These statements by the SDP have a singular objective – to stoke fear and anxiety among local PMETs . Authorities used the measure twice last month, ordering Facebook to put a correction by a post for the first time, and telling an opposition party member to correct a message.
